THIS WEEK MESSAGE: India was not the country of ahimsa. India was the country of himsa. But the himsa was shown only to those who did himsa towards us ( who fought with us). The word himsa is not the coward attitude.
Before criticizing others walk in his shoes for 100 steps and get the feeling of his conditions and then criticize him. Use words sparingly for negative purposes, if at all you have to use. Get the experience of keeping silence when others criticize us .

THREE SERIOUS INFORMATION (Tarnishing Indians and India by a group of Christians) :
@ Some Christians go to Australia in groups in business/visit visa and part of them hide in the selected houses as planned others report to the police that “part of the group is missing”. After few days they surrender and inform police “ The HINDUS in India torture us and we want to be refugees in Australia ”. They talk only in Malayalam to show they are uneducated. The complaint gets translated into English by a Kerala Christian for preparing the FIR and the refugee status is given for working . HERE THE HINDUS AND MOTHER INDIA ARE TARNISHED FOR GETTING THE REFUGEE STATUS. Kindly inform this to Australian embassy and to all concerned including the church authorities, even though these are done with the support of churches. Some people do this for tarnishing India and let the Christians who oppose such heinous activities also come forward to stop the treachery.
@ You may remember when Gujarat was moved with earthquake, the US government allotted 100 million dollars immediately. Unfortunately the secretary of all India Christian association persuaded the white house authorities to stop the support to Gujarath. The American authorities did not give the support and when Indian leaders enquired about it they got the reply from the white house officials “ Your own people (Kerala Christian leaders) came here and got it stopped by saying that the fund will be used for Hindus”
@ Mr. Mathew ( from Kerala with American citizenship) is the chief editor and owner of the weekly English newspaper in Houston, US. In his newspaper he writes continuously that “in India the Christian priests are buried alive, the nuns are raped every day, the churches are burned” and so on. I met Mr. Mathew in Houston and asked “ is there a bit of truth in these reports.” He said “this type of reporting is needed for us (Indian Christian community) to stay together” for tarnishing India without any shame . From this news paper the Americans take the Indian news like this and publish in their newspapers.
LET ALL THE HINDUS, CHRISTIANS ( those who are not participating in the heinous activities against their own mother culture and motherland) AND MUSLIMS REACT AND ACT AGAINST SUCH HENOUS ACTIVITITES GOING ON THROUGH OUT THE WORLD. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT AGAINST ANY RELIGION.
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS ( About caste systems): Can only Brahmins do the rituals? No, in Kerala there are hundreds of temples and lakhs of houses where non Brahmins perform the rituals……………. What about consecration of temples ? that is also like that. Non Brahmins too perform consecration. Remember Matha Amruthananda Mayee commonly known as Amma (from fishermen family and also a woman) has consecrated more than 30 temples…………… Can non Brahmins become Brahmins ? There are many places where this conversion is encouraged and done………….. Why then punyaaha karma performed when low caste enters into the temples ? Your question is a serious one, still in very few temples in remote part of India this is practiced as you know in many mosques different types of Muslims are not permitted to enter and in many churches Christians from low caste Hindus is also not allowed to worship together by sitting with others and their burials are separate, not allowed with orthodox Christians This type of problems are never justified in any religion. Particularly Hindus should NEVER practice like this because, specifically the Vedas tell that I am divine in nature ( aham brahmaasmi) and you are also divine ( thathwam asi)……………… Can a non Brahmin read Vedas? Not only they can read but also perform poojas as many thanthries are now coming up from Eezhava community in Kerala which is a Backward Community (OBC) Let there is more and more people from that level…….. Can we justify the untouchability? It can neither be justified nor be taken casually………. How to stop this untouchability? Educating and by law for all those who are concerned. To a great extent this could be achieved in Kerala.
(special question and the answers for different types of truth seekers. The same answer may not be sufficient to the questions asked for tarnishing and denigrating Sanaathana dharma and indians.)
You claim that India is a great country and Indians could see divinity in all living and non living beings. Even with these claims in many places in India the untouchability is practiced . What is your answer?
@ Answer for general Hindus: It is sad that even after 61 years of independence we could not remove this from the society. Let us all work together like, Satya Sai Baba, Sri Ravisankar, Matha Amruthananda Mayee, Chinmaya Mission and many Hindu non caste based organizations take this seriously and work for unity and remove untouchability.
@ Answer for communists : Even you have ruled Bengal for the last 35 years you could not stop the horrible animal sacrifice in Kolkotta Kali temple. You have never done anything for removing untouchability in Bengal. In your party too, greatest Kerala leader EMS and the tops in the party, practice the caste system literally. First solve that problem and then ask this question. Atleast eradicate untouchability in your party
@ Answer for Indian Christians: In your religion the protestants, Catholics, pentcosts, and different groups kill each other. Blood shed by Christianity is the history of the world. Remember Hindus never killed in the name of religion or caste. Whenever you get time kindly read how many Hindu temples were smashed and how many lakhs of your Hindu brothers were killed when Hindus resisted this conversion in their own motherland , by St. Xavier Francis of Goa, whom you worship as SAINT who is a Portuguese missionary and mercenary who is nothing les than a devil for anyone who knows him .
Answer for the Muslims: Dear friend in almost all the 68 Muslim countries no other religion is allowed, still the Muslim terrorists kill Muslims in these countries in the name of religion . You fight each other in the name of shia, sunni, ahamadeeya, mujaahideen, and so on, even though you have only one Allah, One khoran, One Mecca, One prophet……. First solve that problem and then ask this question.
Answer for Americans, Europeans and Australians: dear friends how many millions of red Indians and aboriginals have you killed in the name of religion, how many poor blacks you enslaved for cleaning your toilet, how many poor fellows you tortured in the name of religion. How many children your Christian priests molested, how many ladies you raped, how many people you looted as you hunt animals for your entertainments and enjoyments and for increasing the number of your people in that region. You are the people who will bear the curse of the god for killing millions of poor, slaves, aboriginals, and wiping out them from the surface of the globe earth and NOW YOU SPEAK ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS AND UNTOUCHABILITY. You do not have the authority to talk anything like that.
(These type of answers should be prepared for each group when they denigrate Indian culture and sanathana dharma. Never try to argue and win but these discussions are for educating and not for harassing/ teasing. Just for informing them in strong words and with courage. Inform them that solutions are needed and problems are there everywhere)
